I'm sure you all feel the same way sometimes! Cards for men are sooooo boring, no bling, no flowers, no glitter!!! I could go on!

Well this card is for my mate's (lou) hubby Ady & I will say I had fun making it. I have had this image from WOJ for an absolute age, it was a freebie digi ages ago & I did the usual, printed it off & stuck in my draw marked 'digi & stamped images' & there it stayed until yesterday when I decided to get super hero Henry out & have a play!!!

I am still sruggling to sit still for more than about 10-15 minutes so this is a really simple card maybe even C&S???? What do you think? LOL.....

He is such a cutie, I can't believe I've not used him before!!!

I just want to thank Hazel (dido) & her mom for helping with the colours LOLOLOL!!!!

I have made a card whoooohooooo!!! It has taken me about two days to finally finish it lol...but I got there in the end! I can't believe how much I really did miss crafting!

I thought I would make a card for Nige just to let him know I love him lots & that if it wasn't for him I would never have gotten through this last week!!

Nige just in case you decide to pop by...Love ya loads xxxxx

When I came out of hospital Nige gave me some pennies to spend to cheer me up!! So I managed to get online & went to my favourite online shop Crafty Emma's of course! Where I gor a few of these just gorgeous Fizzy Moon stamps!!! Sooooo sweet...

I know its only been a week but, I have truly missed hopping around your blogs & reading the comments you leave for me!!

Well anyhoos!! my op went fine....& I came home on Saturday, really early considering they said I'd be in for up to 10 days!!! This is the first time I've been able to sit up & type properly...I am feeling ok, eating ok now, the district nurse is still coming in every day & checking my wound & giving me an injection to thin my blood! Also I've got these sooooooooo sexy white stocking things that I've gotta wear for 4 weeks..lolololol!!

I am hoping to spend 15 minutes aday online just hopping, I don't think I will be back to making cards just yet....but I soooooooooooo so soooooooo want to!! I had some goodies come yesterday that I ordered from Crafty Emma's & I have just had to stroke them lol! But I would rather take timeout now & get better properly..

16 February 2011

but not forever.....tomorrow I am going into hospital for major surgery! I will be in for 7-10 days & unable to do anything for a few weeks after that! I thought I would just let you know why I will be missing for a while, I have booked 1 month off my DT so hopefully after that I will be back & feeling loads better....

Hugs to all, I will try & do a post when I get home just to let you know I am ok, if I can't I will get Nige to do one for me lol!!!

Well its Sunday again & I can't wait until tonight my favourite ever, ever, ever, everest program is back on again....NCIS LA its fantastic!!! If you have ever watched CSI (any of them) or NCIS with Gibs & Dinozo (sp?) then you will love this....

Its on Sky 1 at 22:00 just love it & its one of those programs that both me & Nige like so I get snuggles for an hour lol

The winner this week gets to choose one of these gorgeous Fizzy Moon stamps that Emma has just got in!!! They are proper cute I think a few of them will be finding their way into my basket next time I go shopping lol.....Emma has also has some gorgeous new designer papers in & her new card candy is just soooooo sweet!!!!

I'm so sorry this post is late!! I haven't been sleeping well at all the last few weeks & today I didn't wake up until 11:45 oops! didn't even wake up when
the girlies went to school!!!! & I know I'm not gonna sleep tonight now argghhhh!!! but never mind on with todays card....

My friend Jules is having a day, her day is Sunday where she uses her scraps, as I try my hardest not to make cards at the weekend!! I have decided to use my scraps whenever I can lol...this little Sprout card is made up of scraps! I think its a fab way to get rid of that ever increasing pile of scraps lolol ...

To make Sprout look a bit dirty I used my long neglected chalks to give her dirty patches...I think it looks fab!!

I have used SPROUT she is a gorgeous image which you can get from Jak, she is in a set which Jak is selling to raise money for Katie who is a fellow crafter & has recently been diagnosed with cancer. So pop over to HELP FOR KATIE & have a look at all the fab images you get!!!

Well for her birthday she has had a whopping fish tank, hopefully she will be getting some tropical fish for it today! We need to get the water tested & if the bloke says its ok she can have some fish for it!!! I will take some pics for tomorrows post!

For those of you who have emailed me about my little boy Freddie....

He is a leopard gecko, no idea how old he is because he is a rescue, but they can live for 15-20 years!!! the record being 30!!!! He will shed about every 4-5 weeks....he does eat his shedded skin (yuk!!) He is about 9" long don't think he will get any bigger...the way to tell wether he is healthy or not is down to the fat store in his tail! So the fatter his tail the healthier he is!! He eats baby grasshoppers about 3 aday, but once a week we have to feed him a pinkie (a new born baby mouse!!! mmmm

not to keen on that, think Nige will be doing that one lol)

This was Freddie yesterday after he had finished shedding....having snuggles off his daddy!! lol ...His yellow colour is starting to show through now, soooo pretty!!

Right onto my card for Gingerloft where this fortnight we want to see the colour
